Expert: SDW Date: 3/26/2008 Subject: well soon to be sister in-law living with us
Question well am 22yrs engaged for now almost 7 months now, my fiance is deployed for a yr. when he returns his siter is planning to move to where he is.... and by that time we would have been married. I would call myself an introvert individual, but i do have siblings. am not sure if i could handle staying with my husband and his sister after just getting married. How should i deal with this idea?
Answer The first year of marriage is important and you must have time to live with your husband alone to get used to each other. In your case it is even more important that you have your time alone because you husband is a soldier.
I would recommend mentioning this to your fiance and asking him if there is any way that you guys could start your marriage off on a good footing instead of adding difficulties.
